During the Nara period, the Shōka-in temple was relocated to its current site in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. This move is believed to have been done due to the temple's proximity to a major salt production facility, which may have led to concerns about its spiritual safety. The shrine enshrines the Shinto kami of rice and prosperity.
